Barnacle geese

Thousands of Barnacle geese choose the sky bothered by foxes in the Oostvaardersplassen . They are wintering here from their nesting island Nova Zembla .

The above picture is a crop from this one. It was a mighty view. Every 10 minutes somewhere a flock was taking the air and landed again. Its a matter of days now before they go back to their breeding grounds. One for skywatch friday here.

When I see birds coming home (or flying away for winter) - in formations, I am crying like a baby. I do not know why. It is mighty and it is touching for me. S.C. these young people were the fresh married couple, taking some photos with hired photographer. I could not stop myself from taking myown photo, especially because chinese people love to be taken photos of.
